WordPress add functions per view

_.md

Load additional scripts depending on post-type.

Additional files depending on the current screen will be loaded automatically. Possible screens can be:

• home
• search
• {post-type}
  • {post-type}-archive
  • {post-type}-single

The loaded files can be overridden by the child-theme. Just add the according file in the folder and wordpress will notice your "extension".

Example

General screens

Imagine looking at the homepage. This file will be loaded automatically:

• inc/screen/home.php

For search results this file will be loaded:

• inc/screen/search.php

Post Type screen

Imagine the single view for post-type "customer" is loaded. Those files will be loaded automatically:

• inc/screen/customer.php
• inc/screen/customer-single.php

Looking at an archive those files are loaded

• inc/screen/customer.php
• inc/screen/customer-archive.php

Override in child-theme

Imagine those files in the parent theme:

• parent/inc/screen/home.php
• parent/inc/screen/post-archive.php

If you like to replace one of these files or extend it's content then just place the same file in your child-theme:

• child/inc/screen/post-archive.php

From now on WordPress will notice your file first and use it prior to the one in the parent theme.

Issues

• Missing taxonomy logic.
